How do I search by Issue Number?

Daryl Frewing

I have a Jira issue referenced in some code I am working on. The project is "CU" and the issue number is "5335". I can search Jira by everything from what the favorite colour of the developer was to when the last time he/she went out for lunch (at least, it seems like the search includes so many possibilities that this would be possible), but I can't seem to search by just the issue number. What am I missing?

You can use quick search and enter "5335" or "CU-5335" into the quick search box at the top right corner. You can also switch to the Advanced search mode and search for "issue = CU-5335".

Hope this helps!

In the Advanced Searching, you can search id = 5335

Didn't work. I fiddled around with it and it seems to require the project and issue number. So, "id = 'CU-5335' worked.

Why is this in the advanced tab? I can't think of anything more basic. Either way, thanks for the help in figuring it out. I was starting to go crazy knowing that I had to be missing something.

Quick search didn't return any results. What did work was "id", "issue", and "issuekey" in the advanced tab.

It will search within your "current" project, which I believe is the latest project you've opened (or an issue therein). To search for exact issue regardless of the current project, enter the full key - CU-5335.

Never mind. I was thinking that the box in the basic search tab was the "quick search" box. Now that I see the actual quick search box I must say that this is far easier than I thought. It does bring up another question, though...what happens when the same number is used in different projects? So CF-5335 and CU-5335? If I enter "5335" what would I get? (I havne't seen this case yet....but I'm told it is possible)

The term id confused me! Issues have a unique id and a key. The id is a number field which is unique across the projects but key is a number preceded by project key. It is unique within project. You can use what Igor suggested for the key search

Yeah, termanology when switching between two different systems can have quite different meanings. Sorry about the confussion.
